Hello, my friends! Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback from my tie-dye birthday video for Jewells (@nmjewells)! Your reaction was fantastic!

TTMT 801 – ☮, ♥, ☺ for my BFF’s Birthday

I am an amateur at tie-dye! I used easy-to-purchase and easy-to-use dyes for that reason.

All shirts were pre-washed with a free & clear detergent and were damp when they were tied and dyed. Tulip instructions recommend a 6-8 hour dye time, but a rabbit hole of tie-dye info later and I left in a closed zip bag for 24 hours each. It’s hard to argue with the results! Each shirt was hand rinsed until the water was clear and then washed alone twice with detergent, each time with an extra rinse. The zip bags were also washed and dried for reuse for future craft projects.

If you’re looking to make your own tie-dye, I found great inspiration from the following channels:

Supplies I used (affiliate links)

Tulip 1 Step 15 Color Party Kit Rainbow
Tulip 1 Step 8 Color Celestial
Gildan Men’s V-Neck
Gildan Crew Neck
Gildan Raglan Tee (some color pre-removed with Out White Brite)
Out White Brite
Crayola Fine Line Washable Markers
7th Generation Laundry Detergent

Also used:
nitrile gloves
zip bags

TTMT #794 – Surprise Charity Quilt Finish!

4 Replies

Join me this week as I share a surprise quilt finish! I’ve been trying to use my pre-trip jitters for good and managed to finish a quilt and several small projects. Most of the orphan blocks in this quilt came from Sarah in Houston with a couple from Kristel. It will be going to Project Linus Albuquerque, NM via my bff Jewells!

Supplies I used for my custom thread boxes (affiliate links)

Bird Feeders with Cameras on Amazon (affiliate link) – Please note that there are LOTS of bird feeders with cameras out there, and even some that have a spot for the camera of your choice. What works for me may not work for you, so I won’t recommend a particular camera. If you’d like a setup like this, go for what you think would work best for you. Happy birding!

Crafts of Halloweens Past: Candy Corn Hat

Leave a reply

A hat that looks like Candy Corn? Well, it’s more the spirit of Candy Corn, but it does the trick!

From the wayback machine of 2009, enjoy this simple sweet crochet pattern created in homage of one of the most delightful, delicious and downright bad for you treats of all time.

The pattern is free, just click here!

To make reliving the Crafts of Halloween Past even more fun for you, I’m offering a challenge with a prize!

My Friends Make Stuff 2010

Leave a reply

You may remember Handmade For The Holidays 2009, where I talked about my crafty friends that make and sell handmade awesomeness.

I started posting this list originally on Livejournal back in 2007 and each year I collect names from personal friends who are crafty and awesome, making all kinds of great things to sell. This year, I’m including an author friend because he is a very talented artist and self-published, which is, of course, awesome!

I personally own stuff made by everyone on this list. It’s ALL amazing, and made with skill and love, and in the case of the books, beautifully illustrated and a joy to read.

Also, I will happily continue to add the names of my friends to this list until the end of 2010, so if you should be on here and aren’t, just drop me an email!

Also be sure to check out my shop and etsy store for quilting, paper pieced patterns, crochet hats and buttons!

It’s Bigger On The Inside

8 Replies

Free TARDIS paper pieced pattern, designed by me
and tested (as shown) by the ever awesome Shae.

Oh, fandom quilting, how do I love thee?

Bigger on the inside, that’s how!

In a fit of I Am A Fan, I made this a highly detailed TARDIS. I designed this pattern to be a 6″ block, but I would recommend enlarging it even bigger to work on, just for sanity’s sake. Shae made her’s 6″ and it worked out beautifully.

TARDIS Pattern

Why is the pattern purple? No idea. I drafted it back in May of 2009 and then it got lost amongst my files. When I unearthed it a couple of weeks ago, I realized it just needed numbering and separating. My guess is I had some really good wine and thought the purple was blue…

Need more Doctor Who?

How about a Dalek quilt block?

Sample pieced by Stephanie T

Or a fandom tee?

More hardcore fan, you say?

Tardis Door Mural

Need even more DW? Check out crafty_tardis on Livejournal and the Doctor Who crafts flickr group.

Happy crafting!
